The law firm of Moore, Clarke,
DuVall & Rodgers, P.C. was founded on July 1, 1994
by Jim Moore, Luanne Clarke, Willis DuVall & Ralph
Rodgers. Jim, Luanne, Willis and Ralph had practiced
together in Albany for more than ten years.
Ironically, they chose to venture out on their own
only a few days before the 500-year flood hit the City
of Albany after July 4th of that year. Although the
firm's then-downtown offices were threatened,
fortunately they were spared by the floodwaters.

From that tumultuous beginning,
Moore, Clarke, DuVall & Rodgers, P.C. has
prospered and become one of South Georgia's largest
law firms thanks to dedication, hard work and a loyal
client base. With the support of its clients, the firm
has gone from a start-up operation with a single phone
line and family members acting as temporary staff, to
a vibrant and progressive law firm that is a major
provider of legal services to the business community
not only in South Georgia but throughout the state.
With offices and full time attorneys in Albany,
Atlanta, Valdosta and Savannah our firm can provide prompt,
efficient, cost-effective legal services anywhere in
the state. For this success, the firm gives credit,
and thanks, to its clients, without whose support and
goodwill none of these accomplishments would have been
possible.

The four original Partners oversee
the four major practice groups in the firm. The
Business, Banking and Commercial practice group,
managed by Jim Moore, with the assistance of Partner,
David Garland, emphasizes the handling of the legal
needs of lending institutions, business concerns (both
large and small) as well as individuals ranging from
contract disputes to creditor representation in
bankruptcy to collection of delinquent accounts and
commercial litigation. The Civil Litigation Defense
area, managed by Luanne Clarke, with the assistance of
Partner, Jason Willcox, represents the interests of
self insureds and insureds with coverage provided by a
myriad of insurers across the state in workers'
compensation, automobile liability and premises
liability. In addition, this group provides
representation of the interests of the firm's business
clients in employment-related disputes. The Real
Estate practice group, headed by Willis DuVall,
handles the real estate needs of the firm's clientele,
ranging from the closing of the purchase of a new home
to the most complex commercial or agricultural real
estate transaction. Ralph Rodgers oversees the firm's
Estate Planning, Estate Administration and Taxation
practice group and addresses the tax, estate planning
and transactional needs of the firm's client base.

No description of Moore, Clarke,
DuVall & Rodgers, P.C. would be complete without
credit being given to its capable and accommodating
staff. In addition to Office Manager, Ann Parker, the
firm employs a sizeable experienced secretarial and
other staff personnel who provide the support and
assistance which allows the firm to provide quality
representation to its clients.
